Divorce

Understanding Divorce in Australia

To apply for divorce in Australia, you must meet certain requirements, including:

Being separated for at least 12 months and 1 day.
Having no reasonable likelihood of resuming the marriage.
Meeting specific residency or citizenship requirements.

If there are children under 18, the Court must also be satisfied that proper arrangements have been made for their care and welfare.

Divorce proceedings legally bring a marriage to an end, but they do not automatically resolve issues relating to children or property. Having professional guidance ensures the process is handled with clarity, care, and respect.
